Martins Battlefield Tours

Tours to 1916 Verdun battlefield

and

the Meuse-Argonne, St.-Mihiel battlefields of 1918

I recommend that starting from Germany we take a minimum of one whole day for each battlefield

to get a basic overview over the area and the history.

From Kaiserslautern/Ramstein area daytrips to these destinations can be arranged.

Destinations vary if we travel by minibus or a large bus, as many places can't be reached with big busses.

Early morning departure, breakfast stop on the way.

Visit of Verdun Museum/Memorial (closed until 2016) the destroyed village of Fleury, the Douaumont ossuary,
